In more detail referring to accompanying drawing, earlier referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.A kind of fiber optic connector assembly 10 that the present invention specifically provides, this assembly 10 comprises shell 12, inner housing 14 and sleeve assembly 16, sleeve assembly 16 is contained in the housing 14 and clamps with folder 17.Disc spring 18 is clipped between housing 14 and the sleeve assembly 16, but makes housing 14 and sleeve assembly 16 relative motions, and this is about to explanation in detail after a while.Pad Figure 20 is clipped between disc spring and the sleeve assembly, and back aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22 is to establish with the strain relief sleeve pipe 24 that is enclosed within on the optical cable for the reinforcement of crimping optical cable, and all these are about to explanation after a while.At last, sleeve assembly 16 comprises plug section 26 and outstanding forward sleeve 28.
Shell 12 is one-piece constructions, goes out by the insulating material of plastics etc. and so on is Unitarily molded.Inner housing 14 people are one-piece constructions, are made by the metal material such as die casting.The plug section 26 of sleeve assembly 16 is integrally molded as by the insulating material such as plastics etc., and 28 materials by pottery and so on of sleeve are made.Disc spring 18, packing ring 20, holder 17 and aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22 are made by metal material.Strain relief sleeve pipe 24 is made by the flexible material of tool rubber or plastics performance.
Before explanation the present invention shown in Figure 3, earlier referring to Fig. 4, this is that fiber optic connector assembly is fully assembled the synoptic diagram under the situation.Can see that sleeve assembly 16 is contained in the housing 14, in housing 14, clamp by the holder 17 in the groove 27 that embeds plug section 26.Housing 14 itself is contained in again in the shell 12.In the aperture 32 that a pair of snapping locking-type protrusion 30 of housing embeds on the shell 12.Be formed with passage 36 in the barrel-shaped part 34 that housing extends back, extend to the re-entrant portion 38 through enlarging of passage forward, this position receiving sleeve assembly 16.The connector 26 of sleeve assembly has an axial passageway 40, and sleeve 28 has an axial hole 42, and like this, the hole 42 of the passage 36 of housing, the path 40 of connector and sleeve is all coaxially aimed at by connector assembly, to admit the optical cable each several part.
(still referring to Fig. 4) in more detail, optical cable 44 is general structure, and oversheath 46 is plastic sheaths, and bare fibre end 48 is configured in the hole 42 of sleeve 28.The internal optical fiber of optical cable is with insulated cladding 50.Though do not illustrate among the figure, between oversheath 46 and inner cladding 50, may establish and compile the reinforcement of knowing layer and so on.Can also establish shield blade before these ingredients, all these is traditional in the art practice.
Surrounding layer 46 (together with any reinforcement) is positioned near the barrel-shaped part 34 of housing 14 as can see from Figure 4, is in metal crimp and takes in 22.The way of aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22 usefulness machinery is crimped onto on the oversheath, firmly composite cable is firmly grasped.Insulated cladding 50 and internal optical fiber pass through the passage in the housing 14 forward, and extend by the path 40 of sleeve assembly connector 26.At this moment bare fibre extends by the hole in the sleeve 28 42.
Can also see referring to Fig. 4 that at last disc spring 18 is clipped between the connector 26 of housing 14 and sleeve assembly 16 with bullet top sleeve assembly.Therefore, sleeve 28 and optical fiber end 48 (together with the entire sleeve assembly) can be with respect to motions such as housing 14, shells 12, shown in double-headed arrow A like that.
Described in " background of invention " one section, during the assembling joints of optical fibre, when especially being fixed on the inner ingredient of optical cable in the connector, extensively adopt epoxy resin.More particularly, as usual, epoxy resin all pours in the path 40 of sleeve subassembly connector 26, and epoxy resin is scurried in the hole 42 of sleeve 28.Therefore, when optical cable as shown in Figure 4 with recited above such when inserting or being fitted in the connector, epoxy resin is fixed on bare fibre end and the covering 50 that adjoins portion in the sleeve assembly.When (this point is quite important) assembled in the manufacture process neutralization at the scene, when adding epoxy resin, can run into sizable problem.If epoxy resin is scurried the position beyond its target, whole connector assembly is degenerated.For example, between assembly 16 and housing 14, be formed with boundary zone 56 (Fig. 4).If epoxy resin scurries this boundary zone, and scurry near the disc spring 18 the cavity 38, disc spring is not moved, thereby whole connector assembly is degenerated.
Referring to Fig. 3.The present invention thinks assembly connector subassembly (that is, aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22 and strain relief assembly 24 exceptions), and the pipe 58 made of the material of 60 installing teflon to the back-end by housing 14 etc. and so on.This subassembly as shown in Figure 3, has a series of benefits.Especially, as we can see from the figure, connector assembly has assembled basically.This can carry out at manufacturing site location, then this subassembly is shipped to the personnel at other processing station, client there and/or the scene of going out.This subassembly makes our Maintenance free manage all discrete parts, for example shell 12, inner housing 14, sleeve subassembly 16, disc spring 18 and packing ring 20.This can also make the client of field staff or assembly need not to assemble these parts.
Subassembly shown in Fig. 3 also can assemble under conduit 58 situation in place.Conduit is for ease of epoxy resin being injected sleeve assembly 16, and other parts of making assembly are efficiently accurately by establishing.Epoxy resin is in case by conduit injection sleeve assembly, with regard to the removal conduit, so such optical cable 44 (Fig. 4) and the various parts thereof of assembling that just can as above speak face to face make the optical cable fix in position by epoxy resin that pours into and aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22.
More particularly, can see that the front end 62 of conduit 58 is in the rear end of sleeve assembly 16 connectors 26 is packed recess 64 into.In fact, recess 64 is path 40 amplifier sections by connector.The size of recess obtains the inner that makes conduit 58 and can insert wherein unblockedly, but is not even as big as making any epoxy resin scurry the outside therefrom.In addition, recess 64 forms intilted surface as cutting sth. askew 68 places, and the inner 62 of conduit 58 promptly can ride on this surface and seal.Sealing is to be undertaken by the end of conduit 58 light press fits being gone into connector 26.So just provide and prevented that epoxy resin from outwards scurrying into the effective measures that interface locations 56 is scurried disc spring 18 and other inner ingredient of connector assembly.Epoxy resin is once path 40 and the hole 42 of injecting sleeve assembly, just with the conduit removal, so subassembly just can be admitted optical cable at once.Because the performance of materials such as teflon, conduit 58 can be not wetting for epoxy resin.
Characteristics of the present invention comprise, make conduit 58 have enough length, thereby make the rear end 60 that the rear end of conduit can protruding housing 14, as shown in Figure 3.Conduit is preferably transparent.Like this, under the situation that transparent conduit extends to the housing rear, can observe, thereby guarantee that when conduit is poured into its outshot that eyes at least can observe epoxy resin irritated into by conduit already.
At last, the present invention has visualized a kind of method of assembling fiber optic connector assembly 10.Under speak face to face this method, and sum up the characteristics structurally of the present invention.More particularly, the present invention includes the following step: be equipped with housing 14, this housing 14 has a forward end 70 and to the back-end 60, also has passage 36 axially by housings 14 extensions.Sleeve assembly 16 is housed in the passage, and this sleeve assembly has an outstanding forward sleeve 28, for axially receiving from the optical fiber end 48 of the optical cable that inserts passage to the back-end 44 of housing.Conduit 58 is from the passage of insertion to the back-end of housing, till the front end 62 of conduit is in the recess 64 of sleeve assembly 16 connectors 26.Epoxy resin pours in the sleeve assembly by conduit.Then conduit is extracted out, and optical cable is packed in the connector assembly, fix with epoxy resin and aluminium hydraulic pressed connecting pipe 22.
